Where's the Beef?

For the answer, look no further than Ferris Hills at West Lake in Canandaigua, NY

The 10th Annual Chef & Sip Challenge was held yesterday at the Hotel Canandaigua. It was presented by the Canandaigua Kiwanis Club.  

Our Chefs, Daniel Cobb and Julie Woloson offered up Yankee Pot Roast and Mashed Potatoes garnished with puff pastry/carmalized onion & chive.  It was a feast for the senses and they came home with the prize of Most Creative!  Congratulations to these talented chefs!

Lots of familiar faces in the photos.  You will see some of our wait staff, Matt Pelton and Kaylee White, out enjoying the day along with retired Executive Director, Aimee Ward. The venue was beautiful, the competition was fierce, but there was great camaraderie among the many talented chefs.  There is so much talent in this region of the Finger Lakes and we are fortunate to have some of that talent right here at Ferris Hills and Clark Meadows.

 

Weird Food Pairings?!

Wine, fruit, juice, ice cream! YUM!

So, I'm telling tails out of school.  Our residents often get chatting in the living room about ideas for our socials.  One of our residents thought it might be fun to do unusual food pairings.  They didn't expect us to actually follow through.  When our Program Manager came into the living room with a bag of Baby Ruth Bars and a squeeze bottle of mustard they were astounded!  I came on the scene late wondering what they were all laughing about.  Everyone was giving it a go and enjoying the strange combination of sweet and spicy.  That was just the beginning.  Our Nurse Coordinator said, "game on" and she proposed the following week that we try pickle and peanut butter sandwiches!  The next week our Case Manager suggested doritos and ice cream!  Today, before our happy hour Melissa served up ice cream with wine and fruit!  Rave reviews all around the room!

Giving back with songs and hard work!

The Youth Choir of the Finger Lakes made a visit to Clark Meadows recently.  According to Founder and Artistic Director, Kristy Ingersoll, it is important for her students to give back to their communities with their voices and some hard work. Not only did our residents enjoy the musical selections presented, but reaped the beautiful benefits of their planting flowers to enjoy for the Summer season. 

The mission of this program is to provide youth with an engaging music experience that fosters critical thinking and discovery learning; sharing emotional and artistic expression through performance. And of course to have fun doing it.  A special thank you goes to Mrs. Ingersoll and her youth choir for choosing Clark Meadows for their service project.  For more details go to www.ycfl.org.
